Originally announced back in 2017 at PGW, Ghosts of Tsushima is the newest game from Sucker Punch Studios, makers of the Infamous franchise. Tonight in Los Angeles, the public got its first glimpse of the game in motion during Sony’s pre-E3 press briefing. The trailer opens to find the protagonist riding a horse across a flower-painted meadow, then jumps into sword fighting against an invading Mongolian force.

The action then moves into a new area where more of the game’s mechanics, including climbing and grappling hooks, are shown off. The action ends as two of the characters square off over an apparent betrayal. The fight takes place against the backdrop of a sun-drenched pile of red leaves that move around under the characters’ feet. The title will be quite the graphical showcase when it releases.for the PS4 in the near future.
